reminds of the time I put down a big bet on Washigton Buffalo MNF game back in 1990, I had a go between between my bookie and my friend. I watched the whole game thinking I had a dime on it , turns out my friend couldn't locate the bookie....was not a happy camper.

I dread going back to these locals if it happens.

I think I'll take my guy out if we go back to the old times and I don't get paid.

Funny, I had a bookie die on me once. :Sad Face:

Guess the payment dies just like a player's debt ends with death. Don't use a local that looks like he might not live until next week ?

Had a local get arrested once. He was out settleing up with the players on tuesday and i was on the afternoon route. The police surrounded him and about 4 others makers while they were haveing lunch right down the street from me.
When i heard about it, i thought well there goes my 3250. That evening some lady called my number and said Meet the Blonde in the White Caddy at the Bowling Alley parking lot at 8 pm and hung up.
I went to the Bowling Alley parking lot it was FULL of cars, lady drives up, gets out walks over and handed me my package an said DONT call us, we will call you!
About a week later he calls an says here the numbers and i still talk to him about every day!

Like there are good offshore sportsbook, there are many great local guys. I find many locals give out way to much credit, to guys that have no way paid.

Sometimes that comes and bites him in the ass, some small fry has a hugh week, and another rolls over.

I alway think of it as..... I AM giving the local credit, when I playing...and how much can he afford to pay if I win, and play within those limits.
 

I am sorry for using the "R" word - and NOTHING EL

when Tocchet and company got busted - my guy gives me a call that day and leaves a meesage for me to call him. i had a GREAT week and am thinking he is gonna tell me i am somehow tied into all this and i can't get paid. luckily it was about something else. in my situation not sure this could happen - because of layers of insulation in the whole thing - but if he stiffs - he stiffs - not much i can do about it - except hope it is the week i get killed and owe him a lot of $$$$$$$$
